Clearing Your Boxes: Practice of Solution-Based Problem Solving

Presented by Glen Turner, he has been utilizing the skills provided from the Accidental Counsellor training for a number of years. He modified the content and produced a template to guide students in identifying issues (boxes) in their lives and outlined steps needed to empower the individual to make change. This presentation is based around the notion of boxes that weigh us down and how listening and empowering individuals can help to promote self-care which may include simple solutions (talk to friends about issues), to more confronting solutions such as seeking further help from a medical professional or police, all of which I have facilitated on a number of occasions.
